I wouldn't expect anyone to pile on. Most people here would agree with that.3 -
"Chocolatey" on a food product's front label is a sign that it's likely to be sub-standard in tastiness.7

I hate how when I say I barely eat meat my family are all “but where do you get your protein”!? I get over 70g of vegan protein a day easily!1 -

Yup. I get over 100 most days as a vegan0 -

I detest anything maple flavored. Will not touch syrup. Hate maple scented candles.1

I like almost every food! Yep-includes brussels sprouts, uni, poke, anchovies, etc. It is the way in which they are prepared that makes a food 'unlikable' to me. So for example, green beans roasted with sesame oil/seeds and soy sauce or aminos are yummy, but boiled---not so much! Sweet peas are awesome raw or frozen/thawed, but I have not found a split pea soup that I can stomach----yet!0

@g2renew I’ve only used the recipe for split pea soup from The Joy of Cooking. Beyond delicious! Even my kids loved it. Of course, it is green colored and sadly, my kids would refer to it as horse vomit. Oh, are we having horse vomit tonight? Always the comedians. As an aside, I don’t think anyone in my family has actually has seen horse vomit.4

I love split pea soup, a comfort food from my childhood.
That said, when young (junior high, maybe?), I had a gross-out contest with my cousin as we ate some. I said the soup was pureed tomato worms. (For those who don't know, tomato hornworms are ooky, kinda juicy-gelatinous looking, pretty close to pea soup color.) I won. I don't know whether he eats pea soup any more, but I still love it. 😆6 -

I don't like maple syrup (or any syrup for that matter) on waffles or pancakes. I'd rather just have plain or w/ a nut butter or pb.3 -
@Maggiegirl135 and @AnnPT77 LOL I will try the recipe from The Joy of Cooking and keep you both posted
.
BTW: I have heard of a restaurant 'up north' whose entire menu is only split pea soup-different mix-ins and toppings- so there has to be a version out there that I will like!

Not to derail the topic, but horses are incapable of vomiting. This is why colic can be life-threatening for them.

I know you are vegan, but I am curious to why you think this. bacon is no different than any other cut of meat, really.2 -

likewise, I think you can get all the nutrients your body needs without eating plants.6 -
@pancakerunner For me it's the smell. Generally I don't have a problem with the smell of meat, but but it's not the same for the smell of pig meat. I can tolerate most other cuts, but I can't even smile my way through the smell of bacon.1

I'm team 'NOOOOOO bacon'....even when I ate meat as a kid - bacon was always made for the rest of family - I hated it...along with hamburgers - I'd try to avoid meat as much as I could lol1 -

I just have vivid memories of my great grandma frying bacon in lard and the crunchy part was good then but fatty part was rubber death ..not to mention that side ended up with colon and other cancers. Plus it makes me *kitten* to even think to eat a pig.1 -

I’m not a fan of bacon either. Even as a kid all my friends were obsessed with it and I always hated it. I am just not a fan of fatty meat and it makes me feel sick. I haven’t had real bacon in like 15 years. I love the smell of it though. I don’t really care for bacon flavored things either.1 -
I have a super controversial opinion, One I've literally never met another soul who agrees with me. I. Hate. Pasta. There's a small amount I can stomach if I have no other option, but pasta/noodles are dead last on my food hierarchy. I've tried fresh, homemade. Different kinds of sauces, soups...No I just really hate something about pasta, Always have.
Ironically I'm not a picky eater, I love all kinds of oddities and weird things. But I draw the line at pasta that is universally adored
Gnocchi is surprisingly fine though, Even if that's closer to the dumpling family.2 -
RE: bacon
I like bacon. I mean, it’s fine, and if it’s in something, I don’t complain. I may even occasionally make it for a special breakfast. It’s pretty good if you get good quality, thick cut and cook it just right.
BUT, I do not agree with people who think it’s this “food of the gods” and everything should have bacon. I don’t understand the hysteria.5 -
^^ Sorry, but is food of the gods for me! Has to be oven baked and crispy........ mmmmmmmm!2

I think that's the key for me - I think bacon is really good, but it has to be cooked well, and many people simply don't know (or don't bother) how to do it right.
I have family members who insist I am wrong about this and just being a snob, but factory farmed meat simply does not taste as good. I also really dislike milk from the regular grocery store because it tastes like corn. I grew up eating a SAD and thought it was fine tasting, even if I wasn't a fan of the methods, but once I started eating locally raised meat and dairy I couldn't go back to the other.1 -

I sympathize.
I just don’t love pasta. People talk about Mac and cheese being the ultimate comfort food. No thanks. I just don’t enjoy eating cardboard, no matter how you dress it up. I don’t like the gnocchi I’ve tried. I know you can get all kinds, so some other kind might be ok. I do love southern dumplings. The light, fluffy steamed ones, served over meat, veg, and yummy broth.
